Business Development Manager

In a Nutshell

Award-winning Up Hotel Agency is looking for a Business Development Manager to join our forward-thinking and exciting agency. We are searching for a dynamic candidate who has a hunger to excel and help our progressive company evolve and expand to the next level.

The ideal candidate must have a track record of business development and be able to give evidence of direct ways they have worked in previous roles to make a tangible difference.

The successful candidate will be a good team player who is experienced in identifying market opportunities, expanding current client relationships and importantly realising real results.  We are looking for someone with great communication skills who can professionally interact with directors, team members and clients on a daily basis.  We’re looking for a candidate who plans to stay and grow in their role and with the company long-term.  Previous experience working with digital products such as websites and marketing or hospitality is a real plus but not essential.

The UP Life

We have a plush open plan office with a collaborative and dynamic spirit.  Our team are all experts in their respective fields and have earned respect and multiple awards for the quality of products and services that we provide.

Team members generally regard each other as friends as well as coworkers and there’s usually no end to treats milling around. (too many some would argue…)

We are very excited about the potential for the business to develop and thrive in the coming years and foster an entrepreneurial spirit.

 

Pick-Me-UPs

As a close-knit bunch, we love to do stuff together such as go for lunch every Friday, celebrate absolutely nothing with after-work drinks, go to gigs, have picnics in the park playing rounders or cricket and the bosses even treat us all to a yearly company adventure!

There is also training for the hospitality industry, encouragement of individuals to grow for career development and monthly 1-2-1 meetings to ensure you feel valued and listened to – we really do care for the people who work here!
